Plus..yours is common gunmetal grey I think...I want sleeky silver. Don't worry you'll have a month or two to feel special..LOL.

Get a black un!!

R32's are nice, most of the ones on auctions now should be expensive though, coz they would have gone thru their 10 year rebuild, which would mean a pretty quality car, the downside being their price.

I'm not talking to anyone in particular in this thread but how many of you have actually driven an R34 GTT. How many have driven the GTR as well?

I you've driven an R34 GTT you'll realise how different it is to an R33 GTS-T. Also if you drive a GTR there is again a huge difference. This is stated by most people anyway because its an obvious fact.

The R34 GTT is in my opinion (and everyone has their own) a lot better to drive than an R33 GTS-T. As people know.. the R34 was based back on the R32 chasis to "bring the driver closer to the car" again. The R34 develops more power and torque and does this quite easily in most gears even before boost comes on. The steering is not light like an SS Commodore (although your comment about most new cars is valid... I think Nissan turbos are slightly different.... I would say for example an S13 is more raw than an S15 but thats not what I'd look for in a car) and you get good response, the throttle response is excellent and the power delivery is smooth (in standard form). Although heavier when I drove the R34 it felt lighter than an R33 and more nimble. If you haven't driven one... test drive one and compare it to your GTS-T and you'll notice differences.

If you have to live with the car everyday the interior is also nicer etc etc..... I'm not gonna say I don't care aout the looks of the car cos I do.... and I thnk the R34 looks nicer (in my opinion) than the previous GTS-Ts (but not an R33 GTR :D ). If everyone was pure sports car enthusiasts with no regard for looks why don't we see more GTi-R's on the street.

I wuld still consider the R34 GTT.... its also hard to find good examples of R32 GTRs....

Go and buy the R32 GTR......i wish they made an R34 GTR with a camira body on it....i would have bought it!Too many people worry about what looks good and not the shear mechanical brilliance of such an automobile.I have driven them all 32-33-34 gtrs and gts-gt-t.Supras with truckloads of HP ferraris and all the rest of it...I can say the nissan GTR is the best high volume manufactured vehicle ever made.100k for an R34 is half the price of what such a lovely car like that should be worth.people will also always talk about Big power figures they are going to achieve...i mean sure this can happen but try pullin the thing around a corner...or in the wet.Go the GTR

Get the GTR man. Alot more potential for mods and power etc.

Im kind of in the same boat as you. Im selling my R33 for want of a GTR.

I am a diehard nissan fan and couldnt settle for anything less than an R32 GTR. I think the shape of it looks really "tuff" and has the power to match. And like you said, it is a classic. Not many cars got banned from Bathurst for being too fast:D

I love Franks 34GTT...makes me really want one. But looking at his pictures (mind you, this is all I've seen, never got in one), is the interior of an R34 much different than 33 or even 32?

I know mine shares nearly the exact same lines, and shape. Besides newer seats and nicer dials. Is there much difference?

Go the r32 gtr. Peak like someone said earlier you do need to drive each car and find what suits you, eg. love the r33gtr looks wise but its such a daily driver no where near as much of a race car as the r32 or r34, what im getting at is there are alot of differences even though they are all badged "skyline"!!! Oh just to add something alot of you may be disregarding in this price range, the s15 silvia second hand are readily available for 35g so is the rx7 both absolutetly superb chassis'.:uh-huh:

s13 drifter... I partially disagree with your comment...

yes the 33 GTR isn't as fast as either the 32 or 34 (by 10ths of seconds on a quartermile) and in the experience of people who have driven it its not as 'pure' a car but I definitely wouldn't go as far as to say its a "daily driver car" no where near as much of a race car....

it definitely is still close enuf to a race car and given equal drivers for all three cars I reckon yes it probably would come last but not by much...

its still a GTR... it still has ATESSA... it still has an RB26DETT...

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
